From harlanworldThis feels like the spring awakening I might need. Polarizing album (his best) by your favorite creator's favorite creator. This was cool and significant because this record really timestamped the artist maturation in Tyler's catalog. I love when you can experience those moments firsthand in the listening experience at the time. This one hit totally different and put him down the path towards his 'creative genius' of today. The production, the tempos, the melodies, the way the sequencing ebbs and flows, of course the vibes. Not a skip on the thing. Zero. Get in to it.
